New dual speed supercharger

I just came across a new supercharger that is coming out that is supposed to be cheap and easy to match to any engine. It is dual speed too so you not only get low speed boost but it hits the upper end too.

Great idea! I'd love to put one on my SKY but by the time the aftermarket gets around to making it available to us, our SKY's will have over 100K+ miles on them.

Defintely seems like a very good technology especially since it's targeted towards lower displacement engines as well as high displacement will be good.

Two speed roots blowers have been around for years. They were used on radial engines during WWII.
